Historia

Peter Coyote (born Rachmil Pinchus Ben Mosha Cohon; October 10, 1941) is an American actor, author, director, screenwriter and narrator of films, theatre, television and audio books. His voice work includes narrating the opening ceremony of the 2002 Winter Olympics and Apple's iPad campaign. He has also served as on-camera co-host of the 2000 Oscar telecasts. Coyote was one of the founders of the Diggers, an anarchist improv group active in Haight-Ashbury during the mid-1960s. Coyote was also an actor, writer and director with the San Francisco Mime Troupe; his prominence in the San Francisco counter-culture scene led to his being interviewed for the noted book, Voices from the Love Generation. He acted in and directed the first cross-country tour of the Minstrel Show, and his play Olive Pits, co-authored with Mime Troupe member Peter Berg, won the Troupe an Obie Award from the Village Voice. Coyote became a member, and later chairman, of the California Arts Council from 1975 to 1983. In the late 1970s, he shifted from acting on stage to acting in films. In the 1990s and 2000s, he acted in several television shows. He speaks fluent Spanish and French.

Since then, it has grown into an organization that treats more than a million patients a year from all 50 states and 150 countries. Dr. Mayo had a simple philosophy he imparted to his sons Will and Charlie: "the needs of the patient come first." They wouldn't treat diseases...they would treat people. In a world where healthcare delivery is typically fragmented among individual specialties, the Mayo Clinic practices a multi-specialty, team-based approach that has, from its beginnings, created a culture that thrives on collaboration.

'Alaska Far Away' tells the story of the Matanuska Colonization Project of 1935, a creative and controversial New Deal program that relocated 202 families devastated by the Great Depression, taking them from the upper Midwest to the Matanuska Valley in Alaska to start an experimental farming colony. It generated a whirlwind of publicity and controversy at the time, not only as a federally-funded social experiment, but also as one of the last pioneer movements in America. The Matanuska Colony isn't just a fascinating footnote to the history of Alaska. It encompasses the despair of the Depression, the creative energy of the New Deal, the adventure of pioneering in Alaska, and the best and worst of our government and ordinary citizens in facing those extraordinary challenges.

El Evangelio Prohibido de Judas
Narrator
Judas ha pasado a la historia como el mayor traidor de la humanidad. De hecho en España cuando se quiere llamar a alguien traidor se le suele decir: “Eres un Judas”. La historia del traidor a Jesús ha llegado hasta nuestros días, y dos mil años después aún estamos hablando de ella. En este documental se nos da una visión distinta sobre la traición, que viene dada por el descubrimiento de nuevos textos bíblicos, en concreto del Evangelio de Judas, que cuenta una historia totalmente distinta a la que conocemos. En estos documentos antiguos, parece que se relata como Jesús fue el que ideo todo el proceso que llevó a su ejecución, probablemente para convertirse en un mártir de la Iglesia Católica y que ésta perdurara en el tiempo, como así ha sido. El documental es más que interesante, ya que nos va a dar otro punto de vista sobre la historia de Jesús, apoyado por documentos y testimonios científicos de primer orden.
